There's a crash on the highway today.
G                            D
Nobody's going anywhere they say.
G                                       Em
It could be you up there, so you better say your prayers,
            G            D      G
and take it easy on your narrow way.


G
Now we can't make it to our gig on time,
G                              D
so we pull over and drink some wine.
G                                   Em
They got a five-car pile up in Rosenheim,
     G             D        G
oh, driver take me down the line.


C
Germany has been cold and mean.
G
I want to get home to New Orleans.
C
Me and my baby, all we do is fight.
D                                    D7
Take me back home to BJ's on a Monday night.


G
They got these two-dollar coins here, man. 
G                                    D
Some people say this is the promised land.
    G                              Em
But me, I'm happy in some southern bar,
            G              D     G
just in the corner playin' my guitar.


G
There's a crash on the highway today.
G                            D
Nobody's going anywhere they say.
                 G                           Em
Man, it could be you up there, so you better say your prayers,
            G            D      G
and take it easy on your narrow way.


C
All dressed up with nowhere to go,
G
feeling like the last stand at the Alamo.
C
Man, I ain't got nothin' but time,
D                         D7
and I got Louisiana on my mind.


G
Oh, There's a crash on the highway today.
G                            D
Nobody's going anywhere they say.
                  G                            Em
Well, it could be you up there, so you better say your prayers,
            G            D      G
and take it easy on your narrow way.


        G            D      G
Take it easy on your narrow way.
